SECTION 4 | Installation

Input Terminal side. Keep the areas surrounding the inverter clear by at least 10 cm to ensure

free air circulation around the unit. Ensure that the ventilation slots and fan opening on the

sides are not blocked. Do not place items on or over the inverter during operation.

side facing up or down as shown in Figs 4.1(b) or 4.1(c) is NOT permitted due to safety consid-

erations. If mounted as in Fig 4.1(b), metallic or other conductive object(s) may accidentally fall

inside the unit through the fan ventilation openings, and create hazardous condition resulting

from short circuit of internal high voltage section(s). If mounted as in Fig 4.1(c), hot / molten

material from damaged internal portion of the unit due to malfunction may fall on combus-

tiblematerialontheoorandmaycreaterehazard.

Remote Control Model SAM-RC (optional)

An optional wired Remote Control Model SAM-RC is available. It comes with 3M, RJ-45 cable. It can

be used to Switch ON and switch OFF the inverter and also displays the operational status of the

inverter using colored LEDs. Plug the Remote Control Modular Plug into the Modular Jack

(3 - Fig 3.1, 3.2, 3.3). See typical installation diagram at Fig 4.0, page 7. Refer to separate Owner's

Manual provided with the Remote for further details of the remote's operation.

DC Side Connections

See typical installation diagram at Fig 4.0, page 7.

General Information

1. The metal chassis of the inverter and the Grounding Terminal of the NEMA5-15R outlet(s)

are internally bonded (connected) to the Negative DC Input Terminal on the inverter. In a

vehicle / boat, the Negative Terminal of the battery is bonded to vehicle chassis / boat’s hull.

Hence, the metal chassis of the inverter and the AC loads will be automatically grounded

(bonded to the vehicle chassis / boat’s hull).

2. Please ensure that the Negative DC Input Terminal on the inverter or the Battery Negative

Terminal on the battery itself is bonded to Earth Ground WHEN THE INVERTER IS USED ON

LAND.
